Advanced Organic Chemistry: Part A: Structure and Mechanisms (Advanced Organic Chemistry / Part A: Structure and Mechanisms)
by Francis A. Carey
from Springer
Since its original appearance in 1977, Advanced Organic Chemistry has maintained its place as the premier textbook in the field, offering broad coverage of the structure, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds. As in the earlier editions, the text contains extensive references to both the primary and review literature and provides examples of data and reactions that illustrate and document the generalizations. While the text assumes completion of an introductory course in organic chemistry, it reviews the fundamental concepts for each topic that is discussed.
The two-part fifth edition has been substantially revised and reorganized for greater clarity. Among the changes: Updated material reflecting advances in the field since 2001’s Fourth Edition, especially in computational chemistry; A companion Web site provides digital models for study of structure, reaction and selectivity; Solutions to the exercises provided to instructors online.
The material in Part A is organized on the basis of fundamental structural topics such as structure, stereochemistry, conformation and aromaticity and basic mechanistic types, including nucleophilic substitution, addition reactions, carbonyl chemistry, aromatic substitution and free radical reactions. Together with Part B: Reaction and Synthesis, the two volumes are intended to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in chemistry with a sufficient foundation to comprehend and use the research literature in organic chemistry.

The control of reactivity to achieve specific syntheses is one of the overarching goals of organic chemistry. Part B describes the most general and useful synthetic reactions, organized on the basis of reaction type. Together with Part A: Structure and Mechanisms, the two volumes are intended to provide the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in chemistry with a sufficient foundation to comprehend and use the research literature in organic chemistry.

Clincial Chemistry: A Laboratory Perspective
by Wendy L. Arneson
from F. A. Davis Company
Excite your students' interest in clinical chemistry with this innovative new textbook! Organized almost entirely around organ systems, this groudnbreaking text teaches the concepts and principles of clinical chemistry through realistic situations and scenarios. The authors developed this practical approach to encourage students to apply theoretical principles in the laboratory and to develop practical, critical-thinking skills. Key Features * A minimum of five realistics, laboratory-based scenarios introduce each major topic in a chapter. * Clinical cases focus on real-life scenarios and situations encountered in the laboratory, illustrating the type of information presented to and generated by the laboratory regarding patients * "Common Sense Check" boxes highlight important, yet ofte simple, concepts that are invaluable to perform quality laboratory testing * "Test Methodology" boxes summarize pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical aspects of laboratory tests * "The Team Approach" is emphasized, explaining how other members of the health care team interact with the laboratory * Thought-provoking questions and objectives guide students through each topic and help them develop logical thought processess and critical thinking skills
Chemical Technicians' Ready Reference Handbook
by Gershon J. Shugar
from McGraw-Hill Professional
The definitive reference of laboratory safety, analytic procedures, and instrumentation techniques for the modern chemical laboratory. Cited in BCL3, the new edition contains expanded chapters on gas chromatography (GC) and high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and physical properties and testing methods, with a new chapter on thermal analytic methods as well as on electrophoresis. Also includes up- to-date information on the role of chemical laboratory technicians and chemical process operators in industry and current data on laboratory safety, chemical waste disposal, government regulations, and ISO-9000. Explains in detail the day-to-day procedures, techniques, and formulas of today's chemical laboratory. The new edition (2nd was 1981), emphasizing the importance of safety, has been expanded to include additional information on material safety data sheets, chemical waste disposal, Right-to-Know regulations, and the National Fire Protection Association codes. Also new is material on such topics as gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and computers in the laboratory.
The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Second Edition
by Richard B. Silverman
from Academic Press
Standard medicinal chemistry courses and texts are organized by classes of drugs with an emphasis on descriptions of their biological and pharmacological effects. This book represents a new approach based on physical organic chemical principles and reaction mechanisms that rationalize drug action and allow the reader to extrapolate to many related classes of drug molecules. The Second Edition reflects the significant changes in the drug industry over the past decade, and now includes color illustrations, chapter problems, and other elements that make concepts easier to understand.
* Organic chemist's perspective of how drugs are designed and function
* Teaches organic chemists and biochemists the fundamentals of drug design and drug action using drugs as examples
* Extensive use of references to the primary and secondary literature for more in depth reading about all concepts
* Extensive use of structures, schemes, and figures to illustrate points
* Explanations of dual-acting drugs
* Problem sets and answers for each topic
* Casual writing style

Tietz Clinical Guide to Laboratory Tests Fourth Edition
by Alan Wu
from Saunders
This new edition of Norbert Tietz's classic handbook presents information on common tests as well as rare and highly specialized tests and procedures - including a summary of the utility and merit of each test. Biological variables that may affect test results are discussed, and a focus is placed on reference ranges, diagnostic information, clinical interpretation of laboratory data, interferences, and specimen types. New and updated content has been added in all areas, with over 100 new tests added.
- Tests are divided into 8 main sections and arranged alphabetically.
- Each test includes necessary information such as test name (or disorder) and method, specimens and special requirements, reference ranges, chemical interferences and in vivo effects, kinetic values, diagnostic information, factors influencing drug disposition, and clinical comments and remarks.
- The most current and relevant tests are included; outdated tests have been eliminated.
- Test index (with extensive cross references) and disease index provide the reader with an easy way to find necessary information
- Four new sections in key areas (Preanalytical, Flow Cytometry, Pharmacogenomics, and Allergy) make this edition current and useful.
- New editor Alan Wu, who specializes in Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this edition.
- The Molecular Diagnostics section has been greatly expanded due to the increased prevalence of new molecular techniques being used in laboratories.
- References are now found after each test, rather than at the end of each section, for easier access.
